Innostuin kokeilemaan, kuinka onnistun tiivist\u00e4m\u00e4\u00e4n kaikista jazzlevyist\u00e4ni sadan \u201cparhaan<\/em>\u201d albumin valikoiman. Teht\u00e4v\u00e4 on oikeasti mahdoton, sill\u00e4 mit\u00e4\u00e4n ehdottomia perusteita parhaiden valinnalle ei ole, vaan kyse on pohjimmiltaan leikist\u00e4. Kun ajatusleikkikin tarvitsee s\u00e4\u00e4nn\u00f6t, laadin itselleni ohjeet levyhyllyn selaamista varten:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– valitsen jokaiselta muusikoilta vain yhden albumin, siis vain yksi Miles<\/strong>, yksi Ornette<\/strong> ja yksi Mingus<\/strong>
\n– en pyri valinnoissa objektiivisuuteen jazzin historian tai tyylien suhteen, saan siis valita omia suosikkeja itsest\u00e4\u00e4n selvien klassikoiden rinnalle tai ohi
\n– valitsen my\u00f6s kotimaisia levyj\u00e4 sek\u00e4 levyj\u00e4 Ruotsista ja muualta Euroopasta
\n– valitsen vain levyj\u00e4, jotka l\u00f6ytyv\u00e4t hyllyst\u00e4 joko vinyylin\u00e4 tai cd:n\u00e4.
\n– valitsen veikkauksena tulevista klassikoista my\u00f6s aivan uusia levyj\u00e4, vaikka jokainen uusi levy pudottaa listalta jonkin vanhan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aluksi helpolta tuntunut valinta k\u00e4vi sit\u00e4 vaikeammaksi, mit\u00e4 l\u00e4hemm\u00e4s sadan levyn rajaa p\u00e4\u00e4sin. Miles Davisin \u201cKind of Blue<\/em>\u201d ja muut kiistattomat klassikot olivat helppoja nakkeja. Sen sijaan on t\u00e4ysin mahdotonta pit\u00e4v\u00e4sti vastata kysymykseen, kuuluuko Cassandra Wilson<\/strong> listalle, vai sittenkin Jarmo Savolainen<\/strong> vai molemmat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Levyhyllyn selaaminen on hauskaa puuhaa ja sadan levyn lista lopulta syntyi. Samalla k\u00e4vi selv\u00e4ksi, ett\u00e4 voisin mainiosti koota toisen ja varmaan kolmannenkin listan, joilla niill\u00e4kin olisi sata ”parasta<\/em>” levy\u00e4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Valintojen tyylillisest\u00e4 jakaantumisesta en pit\u00e4nyt kirjaa, mutta kuten n\u00e4kyy, on 1950-luvun j\u00e4lkeen levytetty moderni jazz vahvasti esill\u00e4. Suurin osa levyist\u00e4 asettuu vaivatta jazzin karsinaan, eik\u00e4 joukossa taida olla yht\u00e4\u00e4n rajatapausta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Miles, Mingus, Wayne Shorter<\/strong>, John Coltrane<\/strong> ja muut ovat listan alussa, koska ne levyt tulivat ensimm\u00e4isin\u00e4 mieleen. Muuten levyt eiv\u00e4t ole miss\u00e4\u00e4n j\u00e4rjestyksess\u00e4, numerointi on vain laskemista varten. Yksitt\u00e4isi\u00e4 levyj\u00e4 kertyy yli sata, onhan joukossa my\u00f6s tuplalevyj\u00e4 tai useamman levyn paketteja. Levyn nimess\u00e4 on linkki, jos olen joskus kirjoittanut levyst\u00e4 blogissa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
